Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of men diagnosed with significant cancers defined by Gleason score =7 disease by the two methods (MRI-targeted biopsies vs. standard biopsies).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. Proportion of men diagnosed with clinically insignificant prostate cancer (MRI-targeted biopsies vs. standard biopsies).<br>2. Proportion of men diagnosed with significant cancers defined by Gleason score =7 disease in MRI-targeted biopsies in men with PI-RADS sum =9 vs. the rest.<br>3. Overall cancer detection rates of MRI-targeted biopsies vs. MRI-targeted biospies in combination with standard biopsies.<br>4. Proportion of positive cores with any cancer (number of cores with cancer / number of cores taken).<br>5. Proportion of positive cores with clinically important cancer (number of cores with cancer / number of cores taken).<br>6. Number of cases where MRI shows definitive lesions but biopsy shows no cancer or Gleason score 6 cancer (false positive rate).<br>7.
